Best Hosting

There are different types of hosting plans appropriate for different web sites in regard to the resources or the hosting environment they require. To select the most suitable hosting service for your web page, you need to reckon what server-side software it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Good Points

The most proper option for small sized online portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of website hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per client drastically. There are diverse web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting company to another, delivering different quotas of disk storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can obtain a plan that will have the specifications your web page really needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for an account you will not utilize, or end up with a small sized account that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Exaquad, offer a great selection of hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business websites that even provide pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a low grade package and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a better package involves just a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Points

A weakness of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Certain web sites, mainly online shops, need software applications to be available on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install only software that does not demand complete root-level access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that need server root access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated package. A VPS web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated machine and it performs in absolutely the same way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both platforms traditionally give root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS and the dedicated web server packages contain different specs based on what the hosting vendor offers. A VPS web server package contains guaranteed data storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for short intervals of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual private hosting server is simpler to tackle as it comes with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be utilized by skilled customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, some companies offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they implement dedicated server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.
